Data are reported as percent values unless otherwise indicated. Data were approved by the Census Disclosure Review Board (CBDRB-FY23-CES004-013, CBDRB-FY23-CES004-035) and sourced from the 2010 US Census and the 2009 through 2015 and 2019 ACS linked to eviction records. For comparing the population covered by study area to the national population, national statistics are calculated from the 1-Year ACS IPUMS (Integrated Public Use Microdata Series) sample (household income, age)for 2019 and from 1-Year Estimates Tables DP03, DP05 (sex, race, education, poverty, nativity) for 2019.28
Indicates renters who have been directly linked to an eviction filing.
This study compares threatened renters to 2 other populations: the general population across all tracts contained in the ETS tracts and the population living in the subset of those tracts that have high-filing and poverty rates (high-filing ETS tracts). Individuals were removed from both comparison groups if they were directly matched to eviction filings (threatened renters), but these groups will still likely include some individuals who were truly filed against and failed to match and/or who were not at risk of eviction (eg, homeowners).
Characteristics were measured in the 2010 Census and were calculated based on the entire sample for each cohort.
Race categories are non-Hispanic.
Characteristics were only measured in the ACS and were calculated based on the subsample of each cohort that we were able to link by Protected Identification Keys to the ACS in the preceding year (roughly a 1%-3% subsample).
Comparison indicates excess mortality associated with COVID-19 in our study area vs nationally over this period of the pandemic. Estimates of county-level crude excess mortality associated with COVID-19 are from Paglino et al (available for download at https://osf.io/3e7ax).29
